Tag: How to Get Through Life

On my lifestyle blog, the very first #Study/Saturday was simple tips that work. I thought I;d share them here with you guys, because I know how hard studying is, and we really don’t want to do it, but we need to and i think that these tips really will make it easier.

Also a Billy Talent song. Yeah. Should I have said that in the title? forget that fact for a minute. this was inspired by a very similar post by supernaturalsnark on her HIP TO BE SNARK blog. Forget the fact that ‘Leave Them All Behind’ is a rock/punk/alternative song for a minute. Just let me explain the premise and relate it to life.

Haters. No other way to say this. You hate them. It’s a fact. Great life tip: DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY! Don’t let them bring you down because you know that their words mean nothing. you are beautiful. You are amazing. You are worth the time. Not theirs. Let the haters be haters.

Fake friends. We hate them too. Sometimes, we don’t even know that they are fake friends until they turn on us.

It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on youAnd all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true

Just remember that. Their colors weren’t true, and you don’t need them. I have been through multiple occasions like this. It isn’t the end of the world. in fact, you’re better off without them.

Self-Doubt. We’ll all experience it at some point in our life. I experience it a lot. We tell ourselves that there is no way we can do something, but we’re wrong because if we put our minds to it, we can. We’re only telling ourselves that it’s impossible.

Loneliness. We’ve all been there. We have all felt as if there hasn’t been anybody there for us. There are people there, though. Why we don’t see that is a mystery. you aren’t alone. Ben Kowalewicz said it himself. And you know what? Sometimes, you can’t depend on other people, and it just ends up being a me, myself and I situation, and that’s okay. Just make sure you have one or two friends to talk to, even if they are just online.

Self-Esteem/Respect. NEVER put yourself down. You are amazing, and you need to tell yourself that. You may not know your why yet.What you are meant to do. You are meant to do something great. Remember that.

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went rightWe’re always searching for the reason whyAnd the longest road to find it will take many years to climbDon’t wait up for that moment to arriveLeave them all behind

Leave the haters, fake friends and your self-doubt behind, and just go for it. You are worth the time. You are great. You can do epic stuff. Just believe in yourself.

Leave Them All Behind

Tired of all the promises and never coming throughIt’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on youAnd all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that trueAnd life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went rightWe’re always searching for the reason whyAnd the longest road to find it will take many years to climbDon’t wait up for that moment to arriveLeave them all behind

Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming throughIt’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on youYeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that trueAnd when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went rightWe’re always searching for the reason whyAnd the longest road to find it will take many years to climbWe keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behindWe’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they triedWe’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behindWe’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line

I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the wayBecome I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to changeYou have to fail a thousand times before you get it straightSo catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went rightWe’re always searching for the reason whyAnd the longest road to find it will take many years to climbWe keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they triedWe’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line

Oh, oh, ohTired of all the promises and never coming through Stop waiting for that moment to arrive

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behindWe’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they triedWe’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in lineWe’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behindWe’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in lineYeah!

a nervous disorder characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior or panic attacks.

Origin

early 16th century: from French anxiété or Latin anxietas, from anxius (see anxious).

Translate anxiety to

Use over time for: anxiety

Anxiety can really get in the way, more often than not. It gets in the way at school, mostly. I suffer from it. A lot of people do. These are some tips that are a blend of what works for me and what has been recommended by the lovely jessiepaege on YouTube. I really do hope these tips help, so why don’t we get started.

Tip #1: Find Your Support Group

Everybody needs a life support group. This group should be people you can talk to and feel comfortable talking to about whatever is bothering you.

Tip #2: Don’t Attach Food to Emotion

If you attach food to emotion, it changes your eating habits for the worse. You can either overeat or undereat, and neither are good for you. You need to eat normally.

Tip #3: Music

Make a playlist to listen to when things become to much. Here are some of the songs I use:

Songs That Make Me Want To Dance

Diamond On A Landmine- Billy Talent

Louder Than The DJ- Billy Talent

I Want Out- Young Guns

Dracula- Bea Miller

Empowering Songs

Like That- Bea Miller

Wild Things- Alessia Cara

Young Blood- Bea Miller

Sad Songs

Nothing To Lose- Billy Talent

When We Were Young- Adele

Cure For The Enemy- Billy Talent

Too Late To Say Goodbye- Cage The Elephant

Tip #4: Distractions

Have something to take your mind off of whatever is bugging you. If they aren’t banned, fidget spinners work great. If you don’t have a spinner, or can’t bring one, wear a hairtie on your wrist and mess around with it. It takes your mind off of what is bugging you.

Tip #5: Journal

Keep a journal to just write down whatever is bugging you so that you can talk about whatever is bugging you later. It works, trust me.

Follow my blog if you don’t want to miss anymore of #TASHToSchool2017 and think that is should do more posts like this. It really supports me, so it is appreciated. I hope that this helps some of you, and that you enjoy reading some of my other posts. Talk soon!

Yes, you reading this. You also know that school is the worst place for a fangirl to spend six hours a day. Also, sorry if I’m annoying you by starting my back to school series too soon. Hermione Chantal, LaurDIY and jessiepaege already started theirs, so I didn’t want to be too far behind. There will still be a lot of summer stuff, so don’t worry. Today, I;m going to tell you how to be a fangirl, even though you;re at school. I’m going to help you make it through.

Tip 1: Your Locker

Your locker is your space for your stuff. You go to it often enough in a day, so put up some fandom stuff. I;m definitely doing a locker DIYs post, so I can give you a few ideas on what to do. Nobody else will see what’s in your locker. Only you know. It’s your locker door, so decorate it with Gryffindor magnets and band trash. If it can get you through the year, it’s definitely worth it.

Tip 2: Bracelets

This one I know works. I;ve done it so many times. Take a word from your fandom or if it’s a band, you can use the last names of the members or the last name of celebrity crush. Just pick a name or a word. But some letter beads and spell out the word you want, then simply make the bracelet. Wear it to school, and when things get tough, just look at it and allow it to give you some hope. I have one for each member of Billy Talent with the exception of Jordan because i ran out of beads.

Tip 3: Notebooks

If you need notebooks for school, put some fandom stuff on the front. A favorite meme, album cover, picture of your fictional or celebrity crush, text post. Just something. I have one that is simply all Billy Talent lyrics and one that is various song lyrics by different artists and one that is all album covers.

Tip 4: Try Not to be Too Obsessive

Please. We read ‘The Outsiders’ last year and I really took the fangirling too far. When somebody insulted either the book or Dallas Winston, i went all defensive fangirl and it made me look crazy. try to avoid that. You don’t want to look like an obsessive freak. Trust me. It’s okay to correct them, but don’t go too far.

Tip 5: Don’t Let Fangirling Get in the way of Schoolwork

Schoolwork is way more important than fangirling, so as much as I hate to admit it, you need to pay attention in class instead of fangirling over bands and books and cute fictional guys. Unfortunately. If you think that you are getting too obsessive, bury your fangirl stuff inside your bag or pencilcase so that it is out of sight and out of mind. Once this happens, you can focus.

Tip 6: Little Things

Keep some little things in your bag for when things get tough. Use the lyric book from your favorite album. Make a keychain. It’s just something that can brighten your day. It can be as simple as an ad for a movie cut out of the newspaper. I have one for the ‘Outsiders’. It works.

Thank you so much for reading my blog. Remember to like this post, not just emotionally (I pulled that one straight from JENeratonDIY’s videos!) and follow my blog so that you don;t miss anything and that really supports me, so it encourages me to keep going. Try to survive school. Stay Gold! (Outsiders reference!)
